It was observed that there was a tremendous pressure on the giants in this field to produce vehicles and fulfill the production processes carried out by these companies. These changes are distinct from the changes forced by the technological development. Further, these changes have added different dimensions to the traditional approaches in almost every function of the business. Certain new concepts have emerged, such as, Vendor Development, Supply Chain Management, Forward and Backward Integration of the production processes, Outsourcing etc. while introducing each of such new concepts, it has been stated that these concepts will lead to reduction of cost with high quality and greater speed in the production processes. This has led to increase in the number of SSI units supplying materials to these giants. Even the giants have shown interest in starting such a venture. The work load was such heavy that these vendors (i.e. SSI units) have further proceeded for sub- vendor ship. This has led to the creation of multi-layer production process for the production of one unit/part of the unit. The multi-layer, hierarchical process leads to decrease in margin of profit at each such level of process as also reduction in quality, delay in supply and increase in the number of rejections. As Employment generation has been one of the important objectives of development planning in India. This multi layer outsourcing has increased the level of employment as this tier–II and tier-III suppliers do not install high tech machines and hence employees large number of work force. Interest in measuring human capital has also been apparent in India. While the other forms of capital, including material, equipment, tools and technology, only represent inert potentialities, it is the human capital that converts this potential and energizes the creation of wealth.” 25

International Journal of Management (IJM), ISSN 0976 – 6502(Print), ISSN 0976 - 6510(Online), Volume 6, Issue 5, May (2015), pp. 25-36© IAEME Human Resource Management is the management of an organization's employees. While human resource management is sometimes referred to as a "soft" management skill, effective practice within an organization requires a strategic focus to ensure that people resources can facilitate the achievement of organizational goals. Human Resource Accounting is a method to measure the effectiveness of personnel management activities and the use of people in an organization. HRA is a sophisticated way to measure the effectiveness of personnel management activities and the use of people in an organization. Hence the researcher has decided to probe into the matter such as the qualification and the experience of the workforce (managers, supervisors and operators/workers) employed in these units and does it has any effect on the performance of the organizations. Also the researcher has decided to investigate whether this has any impact on the tier-II certified and non certified suppliers and difference in trend between these two categories. OBJECTIVE OF THE RESEARCH 1) To study outsourcing proportion at each level of outsourcing 2) To study the trend of employment in certified and non certified units 3) To study the quality of workforce employed in these units 4) To study the impact of experience and qualification on rejection levels FORMULATE A RESEARCH DESIGN Review of literature has helped in formulation of objectives. The secondary data was compiled through various magazines and articles. Various websites were also referred. Structured questionnaires were developed and pilot study was carried out to test the reliability of the questionnaire. The data was collected from various Tier1, Tier2 and Tier 3 suppliers from Pimpri Chinchwad MIDC, Bhosari MIDC, Chakan MIDC and Markal MIDC area. Total of 46 Tier-I vendors those supplying directly to the OEMs, 114 of Tier-II vendors supplying to tier-I and approximately 300 Tier-III vendors supplying to tier-II. The data for Tier-III vendor was available with tier-II vendor. The questionnaire for tier-I vendor focused on Quality, Cost, Development and Delivery, Management and Technological aspect. Whereas the questionnaire for tier-II was mainly focused on Outsourcing, Rejection, Certification, Number of processes in a component, maintenance policy etc. UNIVERSE There are close to 400 players in the organized sector i.e. tier-I and over 5,000 in the unorganized sector i.e. tier-II and tier-III. Players in organized sector supply to organized vehicle manufacturers directly. The unorganized sector, on the other hand, mostly has small units, producing low-technology components and supply to tier-I organized supplier and predominantly competing in after-market spare. SAMPLE SIZE 1) 46 number of tier-I manufacturer who falls in organized sector and who supplies to vehicle manufacturer directly. 26

International Journal of Management (IJM), ISSN 0976 – 6502(Print), ISSN 0976 - 6510(Online), Volume 6, Issue 5, May (2015), pp. 25-36© IAEME 2) 114 number of tier-II manufacturer who falls under unorganized sector and who are suppliers to tier –I manufacturer. 3) Approximately 300 tier-III vendors the information of whom was taken from tier-II suppliers Total sample size organized and unorganized is 46+114+300=460 SAMPLING TECHNIQUE USED It was not possible, nor it was necessary, to collect information from the total population. Instead, a smaller subgroup of the target population or a sample was selected for the purpose of study. Sampling is the strategy of selecting a smaller section of the population that will accurately represent the patterns of the target population at large. The main purpose of the sampling was to improve quality of data by focusing on a smaller group. The research is about Automobile Sector in Pune region. Pune region has been selected as there are plenty of SSI’s in this sector and secondly, the researcher found it convenient to focus on the region on the grounds of vicinity. In the context of the topic, vendors were identified at three different levels. Tier-I- who are direct vendors to the giant’s vehicles manufacturer. Tier-II- Suppliers to Tier –I vendors Tier-III- Supplier to Tier-II vendors It was desirable on the part of the researcher to gather relevant information from all the three categories. Though multi stage sampling is a part of random sampling the researcher has used multistage sampling for non random sampling for Tier-I and Tier-II vendors. Sampling design for Tier-I vendors. • N= 200 approximate • n=46 • Sampling ratio 25% • Method of sampling- Non random- Combination of convenience and Judgmental sampling. Judgmental on the basis of possibility of getting data. Sampling design for Tier-II vendors • N=1000 approximate • n=114 • sampling ratio 11.4% • Sampling technique- Non random- Combination of convenience and Judgmental sampling. Stage I –selection of Tier –I vendors was Non random- Combination of convenience and Judgmental sampling. Stage II – Selection of 114 vendors was done on the basis of recommended by 46 Tier –I vendors. Selection of 2 or 3 vendors was done from each Tier-I vendor. Tier –III vendors around 300 The required information was provided by 114 (Tier-II vendors). As per the availability and convenience DATA COLLECTION Data collection means gathering information to address those critical evaluation questions that you have identified earlier in the evaluation process. There are many methods available to gather information, and a wide variety of information sources. The most important issue was to select the most appropriate information or evidence to answer the questions. 27

DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION The data so collected was analyzed according to the alternatives of the closed ended questionnaire and interpreted as per the graphical representations provided herewith in the observation Section. Data analysis 1) Proportion of outsourcing done by tier-I suppliers Tier-I Supplier Outsource 120 Operations Outsourced 100 80 60 40 20 0 1 2 3 4 5 Supplier % 11.4 22.7 22.7 31.8 11.4 Outsource % 20 40 60 80 100 After analyzing the data it is observed that out of the total sample of 46 tier-I suppliers, average outsourcing of tier-I suppliers is more than 60 percentage. Hence it can be concluded that tier-I suppliers further outsource 60 percent operations to tier-II suppliers. It is also important to note that 11.4% suppliers do not carry out any operations in house i.e. 100% operations are done by the next tier (outsourced). 2) Outsourcing trend of tier-II certified and non certified suppliers Tier-II Suppliers Outsourcing Trend 80% 71% 74% 70% 60% Percentage 50% In house 40% 29% 26% Outsource 30% 20% 10% 0% Certified Non Certified Category 28

Comments Certified suppliers employ more experienced supervisors than the non certified suppliers. It is revealed from data analysis that greater the experience of supervisor lesser is the rejection i.e. higher the experience better the quality of the product and lower is the rejection. Experience of operators is more in case of certified suppliers than that of non certified suppliers. It is revealed from the data that experience of operator helps in reducing the rejection but after analyzing the data for both the groups separately it is found that certified suppliers have better advantage of experience of operator than non certified supplier. FINDINGS 1) When we distinguish managers into technical and non technical educational qualifications, it is found that there is not much difference between non certified suppliers and certified suppliers. It is also found that qualifications of managers have positive impact on quality i.e. technically qualified managers reduce rejection levels. 2) In case of supervisors, it is found that non certified suppliers employ less number of technically qualified supervisors than those of certified suppliers. When we compare the data for rejection with the qualification of the supervisor, it is found that suppliers employing more number of technically qualified supervisors have less rejection levels than the supplier employing non technical supervisor. Hence the researcher can conclude that the technical qualification of supervisors play an important role in reducing rejection. 3) It is found that tier-II certified suppliers employ supervisors with higher experience. It is also revealed from the data that higher the experience, lesser is the rejection. (Certified companies need to have necessary organization and infrastructures, besides many of them are well established, growing, large and providing relatively better packages and facilities. Such companies are able to retain experienced persons). 4) When we compare the rejection with the qualification of the operator, it is observed that suppliers employing large number of technically qualified operators have less rejection than suppliers employing less number of technically qualified operators. From the analysis, it is also found that percentage of supplier employing technically qualified operators is less in case of non certified suppliers, hence rejection is higher. Hence the researcher can conclude that one of the 35

(Role of skill, education and experience on quality and productivity is yet to be fully appreciated by many tier II and III vendors). 5) It is observed that operators employed by non certified suppliers are less experienced than those employed by certified suppliers. It is also revealed that rejection is higher in non certified suppliers. (Causes of high employee turnover in non certified company need further investigation). CONCLUSION 1) Rejection and human factors have come under light in respect of qualification and experience of managers, supervisors and operators. Technically qualified supervisors have shown the rejection 11,455 PPM and non technical supervisor have shown rejection 17,188 PPM. This leads to a conclusion that at supervisor level induction should be made of technically sound supervisors. This suggestion is more apt in case of Non Certified Units.
